    Trial class!
    Virginia G.

    Wow! What an experience for my energetic 5-yr-old daughter! We first came here for a birthday party and that was a blast, so we decided to try out a free trial class. The instructor had more energy then the little kids! Let's just say, we'll be signing up my daughter ASAP!

    Kiddo class

    Why would ABQ need an indoor soccer arena, you ask? The horrific winter snowstorms? Endless rainy summer days? Those awful, mosquito and black fly infested autumns, and humid spring afternoons? Oh, sorry, I'm thinking of my childhood in Minneapolis. Recalibrating. Albuquerque: none of that. So yeah, why do we need an indoor soccer arena, again? Let's start with the grass. Have you heard of this stuff? It's big in other parts of the country. Green, not patchy and brown, soft under foot, and at this arena it's artificial, so it feels this way every day of the year, rain or shine. So that's a start. And then there's Coach J. This guy, he's the glue. He leads the toddler classes, and the dude is seriously a kid magnet. In a good way. When you watch your little pumpkin suddenly gravitate toward him, just go with it. The man is something else. A guru. Zen Master of kiddo futbol arts. And he's so obviously local. He's like your neighbor next door, who happened to start an indoor soccer arena. Currently he's mentoring another great personality, Coach Mac. So the details: they host kids classes, which my daughter loves, filled with kicking and songs and major exercise, totally fun. They host soccer matches. The facility is clean and really well taken care of. There's a big bleacher section, for those of us parents who no longer have a place on the field (that time is coming soon for me). And like Maggie said, get your GPS on if you're unfamiliar with this part of the city, because the place is tough to find. Once you find it, you won't be disappointed.

    She plays club year round and up until last year, there was really no option for playing indoor soccer during the winter.

    We had ABQ Bubble Play at a recent Yelp event. Holy crap, this is fun!! I first saw this on the…read moreTonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and wanted to play. Totly worth it! You play 3, 4 or 5 on a team and then it's standard soccer on a smaller field. Run around, knock people over and kick the ball into the goals. A 10 minute game can seriously test your endurance, but if you want to go easier, you can do that too. Make sure you knock people over. That's half the fun! Highly recommended!!

    I created the biz page for this company and I think it's important to first note that they don't…read morehave a physical address; the address you see on Yelp is for North Domingo Baca Park, which is one of many open spaces where they literally roll. If you want to connect with this awesomeness, simply call or contact 'em via their website. The company is very new to ABQ and they're willing to meet you virtually anywhere, indoor or outdoor, as long as the space is relatively level, I'd say they need about 25 yards of length, 10 yards wide. That's it, people. They handle everything else. They're punctual, friendly, informative, incredibly fun and yeah, you will need to sign a waver because this game is not for the faint of heart and claustrophobes should probably sit it out. So what's it about? The pictures provide decent context, but as a participant, you'll begin by squeezing your torso into a giant plastic orb which straps you in by the shoulders, and you'll grip some handles. The view is exactly what you'd imagine, sort of mottled and trippy (you're staring through a couple layers of lining). After teams have been divvied the 10 minute game is on, and believe me, that's all you'll need for a workout that blends something reminiscent of Jackie Chan's Drunken Master with adolescent futbol, harmless Gladiator glee and an accidental goal or two. Prepare to breathe deeply and take a breather, and if you're a hot-blooded midwestern transplant like me, that cocoon will get sweat-soaked. It's cool, though. The vessels are cleaned between matches. A fantastic team-building exercise, this is perfect for corporate events, birthday parties, ex-lover angst expulsion or silly Yelp gatherings, you can't go wrong with this non-blood sport. And when the game is done, you're not done, yet. There's a "Last Man Standing" closer, wherein everybody slams everybody faux mosh pit style. Sounds like a party? It is. Hardcore. But bouncy.

    North Valley/Los Ranchos

    This is my favorite neighborhood park for a good workout. The outer perimeter of the park has a…read morepedestrian path around it about 1/4 mile long, and there is a nice selection of playground equipment and benches to do step-ups, pullups, squats, etc. There is also a large, well-kept grass field and tennis courts. Each time I have been, there have been a number of other people either walking, exercising, or playing with their kids, so the vibe has never been "creepy." I appreciate this little hidden gem in the North Valley!

    The Good: A grand plot of play heaven in the north valley. That Metal Detector Guy was there with…read morehis golden retriever when we showed up, doing whatever it is those people do, searching for quarters or something that might help reimburse the initial cost of the investment. Those people are always a good sign that the scene is going to be on the down-low. My daughter tore into this elaborate play structure themed to resemble an explorer's ship (Columbus, I assume) and a small thatched hut village (the natives he and his crew systematically eradicated upon arrival). Slides, hiding spots, climbing poles and ropes galore. Throughout the rest of the park: four tennis courts (funny how the north valley has so many more of these, per capita), two basketball half courts (strangely situated so a full court game cannot be played), and a wide open field for sporting and otherwise. The Bad: Sand. No shade, save the plastic mock palm trees that shelter the plastic mock thatch village. No bucket swings. The Verdict: In a terrific twist of ABQ fate, we were treated to a truly local New Mexican scene. Two moms, two kids and three chihuahuas suddenly arrived, running rampant over the grounds. One of the mutts agitated the retriever, sending That Metal Detector Guy to the soccer field. The kids were sweet and playful, their parents quite attentive (not standing around staring at their cell phones, which is typical) and the dogs delighted my daughter. This is a great place to frolic, young and old alike, clean and well cared for.

The playground…read moreis big enough to maintain a kid's interest and enthusiasm for at least an hour, and there's plentiful seating in both shady and sunny spots. A birthday party would probably be a great success here, especially with supplemental kites or frisbees or other throwing things. The grassy field is sizable enough for kickball and other such terrain-sprawling sport. We had a compelling game of pine one ninja (think live-action fruit ninja, sub Dowel rods and pine cones). There's a quaint earthen walking path on the far side of the park that, I believe, leads to a pedestrian sidewalk passing over I40 and leading to the Winrock mall. There's also A bunch of well-maintained tennis courts, which I thought were for public use but appear to be restricted access... tennis club or something? I don't know for sure; better check with google on that. There's imposing chain link fences surrounding them, and while tunneling under may be difficult due to the asphalt and turf perimeter, you could probably climb them if you really wanted to play when the courts were closed. * Yelp does not condone criminal trespassing, and their views are not necessarily reflected in my satirical advice on circumventing restricted access. One star deducted because of bathroom access. There's one in that... tennis club?... building, but of course your bladder relief is then at the mercy of their hours of operation. Go play here. Just go pee first.
